Lyrics
There's a tale that I once was told Harking back to days of old And the wise man I heard it from Called it "The Story of David and Absalom" Over the years, I've remembered it some And I recall how I laughed at it then Just a tale of two men Way back when The father's dreams were so grand to see Thought they'd last eternally But they crumbled and turned to sand Absalom knew that his father could not rule the land Fathers don't dream, but their sons undеrstand Fathers can't see how fast children will run Till a father's surpa**еd by his son For a while his dreams were mine In his shadow, I learned to shine I was grateful, and I loved him so But, as time went by, I came to know How small his dreams How far I'd go We would stroll in the fields at night Joke and drink by candlelight But the ending was bound to come For the father who loved Absalom
